My mom called this afternoon. My 70+ Dad is in the hopspital with a
blood infection and possible Gall Stones. He might have to have his
Gall bladder removed. Could you please have your masters rev up their
purr motors.

We shall certainly purr for a speedy recovery.  

the new method of removing the
gb has made it a much simpler operation.  My neighbor had hers removed and
it was an "out-patient" operation.  She drove to the grocery store the
next day.  Now I felt that was foolish, but she claimed to feel OK.

I had mine out a couple of years ago.  They were hoping for a similar
result, but I didn't recover quickly from the anaesthetic so I had to
stay overnight.  I then started going into shock in the early morning
and was still full of morphine a couple of days after that.

On the brighter side, a week later I was able to pick up a filing
cabinet out of somebody's trash and carry it home on the bus by
myself.

The "travels with an electronic bagpipe" sequence on my website
includes a picture taken when I was in hospital then.  And no I
DO NOT normally wear snot-green pyjamas.

The surgery for the removal of the gall bladder now days really is an easy
one.  My 'scar' in less than an inch long.  Bigger problems are what led to
its needing removed.

The blood infection is a far bigger deal, especially if surgery is needed
right away.

Purrs of course are en route.

Thanks, that's how they're going to do it if his GB needs removing.

Purrs are on the way!

The good news is that usually the gall bladder can now be removed
laparoscopically, which makes it much less painful and much easier to
recover from.

purs on the way. As others have already said, the surgery itself isn't

Thanks Sam & Ginger-lyn, purrs are never too late. I've posted an
update. Thaanks Tweed, hopefully our sunny, but frigid weather makes
it across the pond. I'm literally across the pond from you in "New"
